Do you love exploring and learning about yourself and the world around you? Do you also think and feel deeply and often need time to let things sink in as you grow into them?
If you're exhausted by the constant stream of productivity hacks, personal development programmes, and self-optimisation trends, you're in the right place.
I built The Haven in 2014 as an online home for highly sensitive people, introverts, and other gentle rebels to find one another and learn more about our sensitivity and creativity in ways and rhythms that suit us better.
Become Part of Our Community
You can engage with what The Haven offers in several ways, depending on your situation and what you're seeking.
Learning and Discovery
Refresh your perspective on sensitivity, creativity, and culture.
Through regular episodes of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, YouTube videos and articles, I explore the intersection of high sensitivity, creativity and the impact of culture on who we are and how we feel.
You'll find plenty of ideas to get your teeth into as we question common assumptions and look at familiar experiences in different ways.
Understanding and Connection
Share your experiences and learn from others.
What does sensitivity look like in your life? How have your experiences, relationships, and decisions been shaped by it?
What would you love to learn and discover from other sensitive people and gentle rebels?
Experimentation & Growth
Apply what you are learning in everyday life.
What are you ready to make more space for and experiment with this season?
Do you have a project you want to clarify, a change you're considering, or a desire for a deeper connection with people who don't need you to explain or justify your sensitivity?
I'm passionate about giving voice to stories of everyday sensitivity and accidental creativity. I want to help HSPs design environments and rhythms that suit them and to confidently explore what their feelings of disquiet, uncertainty and invisibility might teach them and where they might lead them creatively.
